NRMA Tathra Beachfront Holiday Park

Experience the ultimate coastal escape at NRMA Tathra Beachfront Holiday Park, a premier seaside sanctuary nestled directly on the pristine sands of the Sapphire Coast. Boasting over 500 metres of absolute beach frontage, our park offers a rare opportunity to wake up to the rhythmic sound of the Pacific Ocean and step directly from your campsite onto one of New South Wales’ most beautiful beaches. Located in the charming village of Tathra, halfway between Sydney and Melbourne, this destination is a true jewel of the South Coast, where the forest meets the sea and the lifestyle is defined by relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty.

Tathra is renowned for its spectacular coastline and rich maritime heritage. The park provides the perfect base for exploring the region’s diverse landscapes, from the rugged cliffs of Mimosa Rocks National Park to the serene lagoons of Bournda National Park. Whether you are an avid surfer chasing the perfect break, a family looking for a safe and patrolled swimming spot, or a nature enthusiast eager to spot migrating whales from the headland, Tathra has it all. At NRMA Tathra Beachfront Holiday Park, we offer a wide variety of accommodation options to suit every traveller, including luxury beach houses, modern villas, glamping tents, and spacious powered sites for caravans and motorhomes.

Our park is a destination in itself, featuring world-class facilities designed to keep the whole family entertained. Children can splash for hours in our waterpark and heated swimming pool, while parents enjoy the communal campfire pits and live music sessions that often grace our grounds during the holiday seasons. We understand that pets are part of the family, which is why we offer a range of pet-friendly accommodation options, ensuring no one is left behind. The park is meticulously maintained, offering lush tropical gardens that provide a sense of privacy and seclusion while still being just a short stroll from the local shops, cafes, and the historic Tathra Wharf.

The Sapphire Coast is famous for its world-class produce, and staying in Tathra puts you at the heart of the action. Sample award-winning Sydney Rock Oysters grown in the nearby Nelson Lake or enjoy a locally brewed ale at the historic Tathra Hotel overlooking the sea. As the seasons change, so does the magic of the coast; from the vibrant energy of summer to the quiet, temperate beauty of autumn and spring, there is never a wrong time to visit. At NRMA Tathra Beachfront Holiday Park, we invite you to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with what matters most. Discover the ease of absolute beachfront living and let the spirit of the Sapphire Coast rejuvenate your soul.
